Dominion Day
The Dominion vs. Fox News defamation trial is slated to start today. I haven’t written anything on it, partly because new details keep emerging, and partly because I have enough Fox News biases (mostly positive toward the network) that I don’t want to get ahead of myself.
In short, I believe:
1) Fox let a few of its hosts (Lou Dobbs, Jeanine Pirro, Maria Bartiromo) go too far. They let poor judgment and a lack of proper vetting creep into their segments on the channel. They should have been warned to be smarter and more skeptical, and not push narratives at odds with reality
2) The national media has so many motes in their eyes that we need a stronger English word than “hypocrites” to do them justice. That doesn’t make Fox more or less wrong, but the double standards are enormous. (See my previous 100 newsletters for details.)
Their primary claims aren’t that Fox reporters or hosts said libelous statements, but that they “amplified” false statements. They believe that Fox shouldn’t have given airtime to people like Rudy Giuliani or Sidney Powell while those guests made charges which were nearly always false.
But that’s nonsense. News outlets air people making false charges every day, whether it’s a defense attorney saying “My client’s innocent!” all the way up to White House press briefings. If the government punishes Fox for airing a Rudy Giuliani press conference – even if he’s spouting silliness – we’re much worse off as a society.
4) All of the “gotcha!” emails are just that, and don’t bother me at all. Imagine your worst enemy had access to all of your emails … then gave them to a reporter who happened to be your ex-spouse. I’d expect to see some swear words and people not at their best. None of it was legally problematic.
5) America is in super-partisan mode, so part of me wonders whether the results won’t have more to do with Rs and Ds than legal nuances.
Thoughts?
2.) Elon says government Twitter access worse than we thought
Tucker Carlson is airing an interview with Elon Musk last night and tonight on Fox News. In it, Musk reveals that government agencies had a very high level of access to Twitter and its users. This includes users’ DMs – direct messages between two people that most of us assume to be private.
3.) At least Elon’s consistent
Speaking of Twitter, they have now slapped a label on the CBC, the Australian Broadcast Corporation, and other state broadcasters, identifying them as “government-funded media.”
4.) Parler shuts down
Parler is shutting down as its new owners try to figure out what they want to do with it. The owners said they still want to continue serving censored communities. Part of their press release announcing the shutdown said, “No reasonable person believes that a Twitter clone just for conservatives is a viable business anymore.”
Ken, you seem to be trending a little soft when you come out on the side of, “the election wasn’t stolen”. It absolutely was stolen, in so many ways, and Dominion was the biggest part part of that. It wasn’t just Rudy G and Sidney Powell who were saying so either - Jovan Pulitzer has amazing evidence, and WE ALL WATCHED IT HAPPEN in real time as counting was suspended until “missing ballots” could be delivered, and it just overnight, but over a period of weeks. We all saw the whistleblowers who stood outside and said, “they just kicked us out!” - we watched them cover the windows with cardboard and pretend there was a broken pipe. It was all complete and utter bullshit - crooked as the nose on Owen Wilson’s face. And from 30,000 feet - do you seriously believe JOE BIDEN - Basement Dwelling Biden - who had a whole 20 people show up at most rallies - actually garnered MORE VOTES than Obama - the first “Black President” - in either of his elections??? You really believe that?!! If so, I’m sorry, but you have no credibility with me any longer when it comes to common sense. It’s one thing to not rush to judgement, it’s another thing to deny the obvious and try to convince yourself, “what I’m seeing isn’t actually happening - this isn’t happening!” IT HAPPENED. A US Presidential Election was stolen right before our eyes as the whole world watched. And it showed us that we have no actual recourse to correct it when it matters. AND THATS WHY THE DEMOCRATS WILL KEEP ON WINNING - because they DO NOT CARE if they have to cheat to win. They DO. NOT. CARE. They simply want to remain in power, period. Full stop. And unfortunately, powers much greater than greedy politicians want nothing less than the complete and total annihilation of the United States. - and Biden had been bought and paid for to step aside and allow it to happen. Hillary wanted to be that guy, but Trump caught them off guard in 2016 - he was never supposed to win. So back to the topic of the day - don’t discount the new management at Fox when it comes to this lawsuit. They don’t really want to win it - they just want to get away with a settlement that doesn’t sting so much.
Dominion voting system went on front of Judge Amy Totemberg & a special counsel on October 16th 2020 in enough time to say Dominion should not be ever used in any American election in the USA it was deemed not Secure so here I am an american born citizen saying why would any political party use this electronic system which is no good to be used , it has the ability to duplicate votes, etc, the true evidence here, is with thousands of elected officials knowing this , why would this be used in a Presidential election let alone any other! especially knowing Mr. Hugo chavez used to cheat in his election's to win his election's dishonestly .
